What a shockingly large breech. Wow.

  The breaches are common, the reporting/discovery of them is not. Security just isn’t a priority for a lot of Orgs, as the consequences are minimal (see: Equifax) due to a lack of regulatory or financial penalty pain when a breach occurs. “Help yourself to a free year of identify theft insurance” and all that jazz.

    Discovery of breaches seems to be undesirable in the current environment, if many go undetected. If you discover, you have to report. If you don’t, odds are nobody will notice/will blame someone else.

    This is correct. Worked for a fairly large corp with lots of customer data and while I haven't witnessed breaches of said data it's pretty much a matter of time. Me and my colleagues always pushed for more secure setups and configs but the common rebuttal was "no need there's a keycloak running several layers above and you need to use a VPN and need access to AWS first, go implement features instead." I hope for them that no rogue employee decides to play around a bit or that no one stores their credentials in some cloud LastPass account with a '123456qwerty' master password.
